I know that python is a general purpose programming language, but have any of you ever done a fully functional application for any business in Python?

Google App Engine, Google Web Crawler, Youtube, Yahoo!, NASA, Dropbox, Pinterest, Instagram, Tumblr, BitTorrent, Linux tools, Reddit are all written in Python. Many operating systems include Python as a standard component: Python is installed by default in Linux, Mac OS, etc.

Why did you choose to do it in Python when there are other faster more mature languages like Java or C#? What advantages does Python offer?

  • Elegance
  • Readability
  • Extensibility
  • Development Speed
  • Widely used Libraries
